[status [<resource id | tag id>] [node=<node>] [--hide-inactive]]
Show status of all currently configured resources. If --hide-inactive is specified, only show active resources. If a resource or tag id is specified, only show status of the specified resource or resources in the specified tag. If node is specified, only show status of resources configured for the specified node.
config [--output-format text|cmd|json] [<resource id>]...
Show options of all currently configured resources or if resource ids are specified show the options for the specified resource ids. There are 3 formats of output available: 'cmd', 'json' and 'text', default is 'text'. Format 'text' is a human friendly output. Format 'cmd' prints pcs commands which can be used to recreate the same configuration. Format 'json' is a machine oriented output of the configuration.
list [filter] [--nodesc]
Show list of all available resource agents (if filter is provided then only resource agents matching the filter will be shown). If --nodesc is used then descriptions of resource agents are not printed.
Show options for the specified resource. If --full is specified, all options including advanced and deprecated ones are shown.
create <resource id> [<standard>:[<provider>:]]<type> [<resource options>] [op <operation action> <operation options> [<operation action> <operation options>]...] [meta <meta options>] [clone [<clone id>] [<clone meta options>] | promotable [<clone id>] [<promotable meta options>] | --group <group id> [--before <resource id> | --after <resource id>] | bundle <bundle id>] [--disabled] [--agent-validation] [--no-default-ops] [--wait[=n]]
create --future <resource id> [<standard>:[<provider>:]]<type> [<resource options>] [op <operation action> <operation options> [<operation action> <operation options>]...] [meta <meta options>] [clone [<clone id>] [meta <clone meta options>] | promotable [<clone id>] [meta <promotable meta options>] | group <group id> [before <resource id> | after <resource id>] | bundle <bundle id>] [--disabled] [--agent-validation] [--no-default-ops] [--wait[=n]]
Create specified resource.
If clone is used, a clone resource is created. If promotable is used, a promotable clone resource is created.
If --group is specified, the resource is added to the group named. You can use --before or --after to specify the position of the added resource relatively to some resource already existing in the group.
If bundle is specified, resource will be created inside of the specified bundle.
If --disabled is specified, the resource is not started automatically.
If --agent-validation is specified, resource agent validate-all action will be used to validate resource options and will prevent creating a misconfigured resource. If --agent-validation is not specified, the validation will be done anyway, but it will only produce warnings not preventing the resource from being created.
If --no-default-ops is specified, only monitor operations are created for the resource and all other operations use default settings.
If --wait is specified, pcs will wait up to 'n' seconds for the resource to start and then return 0 if the resource is started, or 1 if the resource has not yet started. If 'n' is not specified it defaults to 60 minutes.
Specifying --future switches to the new command format that changes the way clone and promotable meta options are expected to be specified.

Example: Create a new resource called 'VirtualIP' with IP address 192.168.0.99, netmask of 32, monitored everything 30 seconds, on eth2:
pcs resource create VirtualIP ocf:heartbeat:IPaddr2 ip=192.168.0.99 cidr_netmask=32 nic=eth2 op monitor interval=30s

delete <resource id|group id|bundle id|clone id>...
Deletes the specified resources, groups, bundles or clones (and all resources within the groups/bundles/clones).
remove <resource id|group id|bundle id|clone id>...
Deletes the specified resources, groups, bundles or clones (and all resources within the groups/bundles/clones).
enable <resource id | tag id>... [--wait[=n]]
Allow the cluster to start the resources. Depending on the rest of the configuration (constraints, options, failures, etc), the resources may remain stopped. If --wait is specified, pcs will wait up to 'n' seconds for the resources to start and then return 0 if the resources are started, or 1 if the resources have not yet started. If 'n' is not specified it defaults to 60 minutes.
disable <resource id | tag id>... [--safe [--brief] [--no-strict]] [--simulate [--brief]] [--wait[=n]]
Attempt to stop the resources if they are running and forbid the cluster from starting them again. Depending on the rest of the configuration (constraints, options, failures, etc), the resources may remain started.
If --safe is specified, no changes to the cluster configuration will be made if other than specified resources would be affected in any way. If --brief is also specified, only errors are printed.
If --no-strict is specified, no changes to the cluster configuration will be made if other than specified resources would get stopped or demoted. Moving resources between nodes is allowed.
If --simulate is specified, no changes to the cluster configuration will be made and the effect of the changes will be printed instead. If --brief is also specified, only a list of affected resources not specified in the command will be printed.
If --wait is specified, pcs will wait up to 'n' seconds for the resources to stop and then return 0 if the resources are stopped or 1 if the resources have not stopped. If 'n' is not specified it defaults to 60 minutes.
Attempt to stop the resources if they are running and forbid the cluster from starting them again. Depending on the rest of the configuration (constraints, options, failures, etc), the resources may remain started. No changes to the cluster configuration will be made if other than specified resources would be affected in any way.
If --brief is specified, only errors are printed.
If --no-strict is specified, no changes to the cluster configuration will be made if other than specified resources would get stopped or demoted. Moving resources between nodes is allowed.
If --simulate is specified, no changes to the cluster configuration will be made and the effect of the changes will be printed instead. If --brief is also specified, only a list of affected resources not specified in the command will be printed.
If --wait is specified, pcs will wait up to 'n' seconds for the resources to stop and then return 0 if the resources are stopped or 1 if the resources have not stopped. If 'n' is not specified it defaults to 60 minutes.
If --force is specified, checks for safe disable will be skipped.
restart <resource id> [node] [--wait=n]
Restart the resource specified. If a node is specified and if the resource is a clone or bundle it will be restarted only on the node specified. If --wait is specified, then we will wait up to 'n' seconds for the resource to be restarted and return 0 if the restart was successful or 1 if it was not.
This command will force the specified resource to start on this node ignoring the cluster recommendations and print the output from starting the resource. Using --full will give more detailed output. This is mainly used for debugging resources that fail to start.
This command will force the specified resource to stop on this node ignoring the cluster recommendations and print the output from stopping the resource. Using --full will give more detailed output. This is mainly used for debugging resources that fail to stop.
This command will force the specified resource to be promoted on this node ignoring the cluster recommendations and print the output from promoting the resource. Using --full will give more detailed output. This is mainly used for debugging resources that fail to promote.
This command will force the specified resource to be demoted on this node ignoring the cluster recommendations and print the output from demoting the resource. Using --full will give more detailed output. This is mainly used for debugging resources that fail to demote.
This command will force the specified resource to be monitored on this node ignoring the cluster recommendations and print the output from monitoring the resource. Using --full will give more detailed output. This is mainly used for debugging resources that fail to be monitored.
move <resource id> [destination node] [--promoted] [--strict] [--wait[=n]]
Move the resource off the node it is currently running on. This is achieved by creating a -INFINITY location constraint to ban the node. If destination node is specified the resource will be moved to that node by creating an INFINITY location constraint to prefer the destination node. The constraint needed for moving the resource will be automatically removed once the resource is running on its new location. The command will fail in case it is not possible to verify that the resource will not be moved back after deleting the constraint. If this happens after the location constraint has been created, the constraint will be left in the configuration.

If --strict is specified, the command will also fail if other resources would be affected.

If --promoted is used the scope of the command is limited to the Promoted role and promotable clone id must be used (instead of the resource id).

If --wait is specified, pcs will wait up to 'n' seconds for the resource to move and then return 0 on success or 1 on error. If 'n' is not specified it defaults to 60 minutes.

NOTE: This command has been changed in pcs-0.11. It is equivalent to command 'resource move <resource id> --autodelete' from pcs-0.10.9. Legacy functionality of the 'resource move' command is still available as 'resource move-with-constraint <resource id>'.

If you want the resource to preferably avoid running on some nodes but be able to failover to them use 'pcs constraint location avoids'.

move-with-constraint <resource id> [destination node] [lifetime=<lifetime>] [--promoted] [--wait[=n]]
Move the resource off the node it is currently running on by creating a -INFINITY location constraint to ban the node. If destination node is specified the resource will be moved to that node by creating an INFINITY location constraint to prefer the destination node.

If lifetime is specified then the constraint will expire after that time, otherwise it defaults to infinity and the constraint can be cleared manually with 'pcs resource clear' or 'pcs constraint delete'. Lifetime is expected to be specified as ISO 8601 duration (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601#Durations).

If --promoted is used the scope of the command is limited to the Promoted role and promotable clone id must be used (instead of the resource id).

If --wait is specified, pcs will wait up to 'n' seconds for the resource to move and then return 0 on success or 1 on error. If 'n' is not specified it defaults to 60 minutes.

If you want the resource to preferably avoid running on some nodes but be able to failover to them use 'pcs constraint location avoids'.

Prevent the resource id specified from running on the node (or on the current node it is running on if no node is specified) by creating a -INFINITY location constraint.

If --promoted is used the scope of the command is limited to the Promoted role and promotable clone id must be used (instead of the resource id).

If lifetime is specified then the constraint will expire after that time, otherwise it defaults to infinity and the constraint can be cleared manually with 'pcs resource clear' or 'pcs constraint delete'. Lifetime is expected to be specified as ISO 8601 duration (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601#Durations).

If --wait is specified, pcs will wait up to 'n' seconds for the resource to move and then return 0 on success or 1 on error. If 'n' is not specified it defaults to 60 minutes.

If you want the resource to preferably avoid running on some nodes but be able to failover to them use 'pcs constraint location avoids'.

Remove constraints created by move and/or ban on the specified resource (and node if specified).

If --promoted is used the scope of the command is limited to the Promoted role and promotable clone id must be used (instead of the resource id).

If --expired is specified, only constraints with expired lifetimes will be removed.

If --wait is specified, pcs will wait up to 'n' seconds for the operation to finish (including starting and/or moving resources if appropriate) and then return 0 on success or 1 on error. If 'n' is not specified it defaults to 60 minutes.

List available resource agent standards supported by this installation (OCF, LSB, etc.).
List available OCF resource agent providers.
List available agents optionally filtered by standard and provider.
Add, remove or change options of specified resource, clone or multi-state resource. Unspecified options will be kept unchanged. If you wish to remove an option, set it to empty value, i.e. 'option_name='.

If an operation (op) is specified it will update the first found operation with the same action on the specified resource. If no operation with that action exists then a new operation will be created. (WARNING: all existing options on the updated operation will be reset if not specified.) If you want to create multiple monitor operations you should use the 'op add' & 'op remove' commands.

If --agent-validation is specified, resource agent validate-all action will be used to validate resource options and will prevent creating a misconfigured resource. If --agent-validation is not specified, the validation will be done anyway, but it will only produce warnings not preventing the resource from being updated.

If --wait is specified, pcs will wait up to 'n' seconds for the changes to take effect and then return 0 if the changes have been processed or 1 otherwise. If 'n' is not specified it defaults to 60 minutes.

Add operation for specified resource.
Remove specified operation (note: you must specify the exact operation properties to properly remove an existing operation).
Remove the specified operation id.
Remove specified operation (note: you must specify the exact operation properties to properly remove an existing operation).
Remove the specified operation id.
List currently configured default values for operations. If --all is specified, also list expired sets of values. If --full is specified, also list ids. If --no-expire-check is specified, do not evaluate whether sets of values are expired. There are 3 formats of output available: 'cmd', 'json' and 'text', default is 'text'. Format 'text' is a human friendly output. Format 'cmd' prints pcs commands which can be used to recreate the same configuration. Format 'json' is a machine oriented output of the configuration.
Set default values for operations.
NOTE: Defaults do not apply to resources / stonith devices which override them with their own defined values.
Create a new set of default values for resource / stonith device operations. You may specify a rule describing resources / stonith devices and / or operations to which the set applies.

Set options are: id, score

Expression looks like one of the following:
op <operation name> [interval=<interval>]
resource [<standard>]:[<provider>]:[<type>]
defined|not_defined <node attribute>
<node attribute> lt|gt|lte|gte|eq|ne [string|integer|number|version] <value>
date gt|lt <date>
date in_range [<date>] to <date>
date in_range <date> to duration <duration options>
date-spec <date-spec options>
<expression> and|or <expression>
(<expression>)

You may specify all or any of 'standard', 'provider' and 'type' in a resource expression. For example: 'resource ocf::' matches all resources of 'ocf' standard, while 'resource ::Dummy' matches all resources of 'Dummy' type regardless of their standard and provider.

Dates are expected to conform to ISO 8601 format.

Duration options are: years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, seconds. Value for these options is an integer.

Date-spec options are: years, weekyears, months, weeks, yeardays, monthdays, weekdays, hours, minutes, seconds. Value for these options is an integer or a range written as integer-integer.

NOTE: Defaults do not apply to resources / stonith devices which override them with their own defined values.

Delete specified options sets.
Delete specified options sets.
Add, remove or change values in specified set of default values for resource / stonith device operations. Unspecified options will be kept unchanged. If you wish to remove an option, set it to empty value, i.e. 'option_name='.

NOTE: Defaults do not apply to resources / stonith devices which override them with their own defined values.

Add, remove or change default values for operations. This is a simplified command useful for cases when you only manage one set of default values. Unspecified options will be kept unchanged. If you wish to remove an option, set it to empty value, i.e. 'option_name='.

NOTE: Defaults do not apply to resources / stonith devices which override them with their own defined values.

Add specified options to the specified resource, group or clone. Meta options should be in the format of name=value, options may be removed by setting an option without a value. If --wait is specified, pcs will wait up to 'n' seconds for the changes to take effect and then return 0 if the changes have been processed or 1 otherwise. If 'n' is not specified it defaults to 60 minutes.
Example: pcs resource meta TestResource failure-timeout=50 resource-stickiness=
Show all currently configured resource groups and their resources.
Add the specified resource to the group, creating the group if it does not exist. If the resource is present in another group it is moved to the new group. If the group remains empty after move, it is deleted (for cloned groups, the clone is deleted as well). The delete operation may fail in case the group is referenced within the configuration, e.g. by constraints. In that case, use 'pcs resource ungroup' command prior to moving all resources out of the group.

You can use --before or --after to specify the position of the added resources relatively to some resource already existing in the group. By adding resources to a group they are already in and specifying --after or --before you can move the resources in the group.

If --wait is specified, pcs will wait up to 'n' seconds for the operation to finish (including moving resources if appropriate) and then return 0 on success or 1 on error. If 'n' is not specified it defaults to 60 minutes.

Remove the group (note: this does not remove any resources from the cluster) or if resources are specified, remove the specified resources from the group. If --wait is specified, pcs will wait up to 'n' seconds for the operation to finish (including moving resources if appropriate) and the return 0 on success or 1 on error. If 'n' is not specified it defaults to 60 minutes.
Remove the group (note: this does not remove any resources from the cluster) or if resources are specified, remove the specified resources from the group. If --wait is specified, pcs will wait up to 'n' seconds for the operation to finish (including moving resources if appropriate) and the return 0 on success or 1 on error. If 'n' is not specified it defaults to 60 minutes.
Remove the group (note: this does not remove any resources from the cluster) or if resources are specified, remove the specified resources from the group. If --wait is specified, pcs will wait up to 'n' seconds for the operation to finish (including moving resources if appropriate) and the return 0 on success or 1 on error. If 'n' is not specified it defaults to 60 minutes.
Set up the specified resource or group as a clone. If --wait is specified, pcs will wait up to 'n' seconds for the operation to finish (including starting clone instances if appropriate) and then return 0 on success or 1 on error. If 'n' is not specified it defaults to 60 minutes.
Set up the specified resource or group as a promotable clone. This is an alias for 'pcs resource clone <resource id> promotable=true'.
Remove the specified clone or the clone which contains the specified group or resource (the resource or group will not be removed). If --wait is specified, pcs will wait up to 'n' seconds for the operation to finish (including stopping clone instances if appropriate) and then return 0 on success or 1 on error. If 'n' is not specified it defaults to 60 minutes.
Create a new bundle encapsulating no resources. The bundle can be used either as it is or a resource may be put into it at any time. If --disabled is specified, the bundle is not started automatically. If --wait is specified, pcs will wait up to 'n' seconds for the bundle to start and then return 0 on success or 1 on error. If 'n' is not specified it defaults to 60 minutes.
Configure specified bundle with given options. Unlike bundle update, this command resets the bundle according given options - no previous options are kept. Resources inside the bundle are kept as they are. If --disabled is specified, the bundle is not started automatically. If --wait is specified, pcs will wait up to 'n' seconds for the bundle to start and then return 0 on success or 1 on error. If 'n' is not specified it defaults to 60 minutes.
Add, remove or change options of specified bundle. Unspecified options will be kept unchanged. If you wish to remove an option, set it to empty value, i.e. 'option_name='.

If you wish to update a resource encapsulated in the bundle, use the 'pcs resource update' command instead and specify the resource id.

If --wait is specified, pcs will wait up to 'n' seconds for the operation to finish (including moving resources if appropriate) and then return 0 on success or 1 on error. If 'n' is not specified it defaults to 60 minutes.

Set resources listed to managed mode (default). If --monitor is specified, enable all monitor operations of the resources.
Set resources listed to unmanaged mode. When a resource is in unmanaged mode, the cluster is not allowed to start nor stop the resource. If --monitor is specified, disable all monitor operations of the resources.
List currently configured default values for resources / stonith devices. If --all is specified, also list expired sets of values. If --full is specified, also list ids. If --no-expire-check is specified, do not evaluate whether sets of values are expired. There are 3 formats of output available: 'cmd', 'json' and 'text', default is 'text'. Format 'text' is a human friendly output. Format 'cmd' prints pcs commands which can be used to recreate the same configuration. Format 'json' is a machine oriented output of the configuration.

NOTE: Defaults do not apply to resources / stonith devices which override them with their own defined values.

Make the cluster forget failed operations from history of the resource / stonith device and re-detect its current state. This can be useful to purge knowledge of past failures that have since been resolved.

If the named resource is part of a group, or one numbered instance of a clone or bundled resource, the clean-up applies to the whole collective resource unless --strict is given.

If a resource id / stonith id is not specified then all resources / stonith devices will be cleaned up.

If a node is not specified then resources / stonith devices on all nodes will be cleaned up.

Make the cluster forget the complete operation history (including failures) of the resource / stonith device and re-detect its current state. If you are interested in forgetting failed operations only, use the 'pcs resource cleanup' command.

If the named resource is part of a group, or one numbered instance of a clone or bundled resource, the refresh applies to the whole collective resource unless --strict is given.

If a resource id / stonith id is not specified then all resources / stonith devices will be refreshed.

If a node is not specified then resources / stonith devices on all nodes will be refreshed.

Show current failcount for resources and stonith devices, optionally filtered by a resource / stonith device, node, operation and its interval. If --full is specified do not sum failcounts per resource / stonith device and node. Use 'pcs resource cleanup' or 'pcs resource refresh' to reset failcounts.
The same as 'relocate run' but has no effect on the cluster.
Relocate specified resources to their preferred nodes. If no resources are specified, relocate all resources. This command calculates the preferred node for each resource while ignoring resource stickiness. Then it creates location constraints which will cause the resources to move to their preferred nodes. Once the resources have been moved the constraints are deleted automatically. Note that the preferred node is calculated based on current cluster status, constraints, location of resources and other settings and thus it might change over time.
Display current status of resources and their optimal node ignoring resource stickiness.
Remove all constraints created by the 'relocate run' command.
Add specified utilization options to specified resource. If resource is not specified, shows utilization of all resources. If utilization options are not specified, shows utilization of specified resource. Utilization option should be in format name=value, value has to be integer. Options may be removed by setting an option without a value. Example: pcs resource utilization TestResource cpu= ram=20 For the utilization configuration to be in effect, cluster property 'placement-strategy' must be configured accordingly.
Display relations of a resource specified by its id with other resources in a tree structure. Supported types of resource relations are: ordering constraints, ordering set constraints, relations defined by resource hierarchy (clones, groups, bundles). If --full is used, more verbose output will be printed.

setup <cluster name> (<node name> [addr=<node address>]...)... [transport knet|udp|udpu [<transport options>] [link <link options>]... [compression <compression options>] [crypto <crypto options>]] [totem <totem options>] [quorum <quorum options>] [--no-cluster-uuid] ([--enable] [--start [--wait[=<n>]]] [--no-keys-sync]) | [--corosync_conf <path>]
Create a cluster from the listed nodes and synchronize cluster configuration files to them. If --corosync_conf is specified, do not connect to other nodes and save corosync.conf to the specified path; see 'Local only mode' below for details.

Nodes are specified by their names and optionally their addresses. If no addresses are specified for a node, pcs will configure corosync to communicate with that node using an address provided in 'pcs host auth' command. Otherwise, pcs will configure corosync to communicate with the node using the specified addresses.

Transport knet:
This is the default transport. It allows configuring traffic encryption and compression as well as using multiple addresses (links) for nodes.
Transport options are: ip_version, knet_pmtud_interval, link_mode
Link options are: link_priority, linknumber, mcastport, ping_interval, ping_precision, ping_timeout, pong_count, transport (udp or sctp)
Each 'link' followed by options sets options for one link in the order the links are defined by nodes' addresses. You can set link options for a subset of links using a linknumber. See examples below.
Compression options are: level, model, threshold
Crypto options are: cipher, hash, model
By default, encryption is enabled with cipher=aes256 and hash=sha256. To disable encryption, set cipher=none and hash=none.

Transports udp and udpu:
These transports are limited to one address per node. They do not support traffic encryption nor compression.
Transport options are: ip_version, netmtu
Link options are: bindnetaddr, broadcast, mcastaddr, mcastport, ttl

Totem and quorum can be configured regardless of used transport.
Totem options are: block_unlisted_ips, consensus, downcheck, fail_recv_const, heartbeat_failures_allowed, hold, join, max_messages, max_network_delay, merge, miss_count_const, send_join, seqno_unchanged_const, token, token_coefficient, token_retransmit, token_retransmits_before_loss_const, window_size
Quorum options are: auto_tie_breaker, last_man_standing, last_man_standing_window, wait_for_all

Transports and their options, link, compression, crypto and totem options are all documented in corosync.conf(5) man page; knet link options are prefixed 'knet_' there, compression options are prefixed 'knet_compression_' and crypto options are prefixed 'crypto_'. Quorum options are documented in votequorum(5) man page.

--no-cluster-uuid will not generate a unique ID for the cluster. --enable will configure the cluster to start on nodes boot. --start will start the cluster right after creating it. --wait will wait up to 'n' seconds for the cluster to start. --no-keys-sync will skip creating and distributing pcsd SSL certificate and key and corosync and pacemaker authkey files. Use this if you provide your own certificates and keys.

Local only mode:
By default, pcs connects to all specified nodes to verify they can be used in the new cluster and to send cluster configuration files to them. If this is not what you want, specify --corosync_conf option followed by a file path. Pcs will save corosync.conf to the specified file and will not connect to cluster nodes. These are the tasks that pcs skips in that case:
* make sure the nodes are not running or configured to run a cluster already
* make sure cluster packages are installed on all nodes and their versions are compatible
* make sure there are no cluster configuration files on any node (run 'pcs cluster destroy' and remove pcs_settings.conf file on all nodes)
* synchronize corosync and pacemaker authkeys, /etc/corosync/authkey and /etc/pacemaker/authkey respectively, and the corosync.conf file
* authenticate the cluster nodes against each other ('pcs cluster auth' or 'pcs host auth' command)
* synchronize pcsd certificates (so that pcs web UI can be used in an HA mode)

Examples:
Create a cluster with default settings:
pcs cluster setup newcluster node1 node2
Create a cluster using two links:
pcs cluster setup newcluster node1 addr=10.0.1.11 addr=10.0.2.11 node2 addr=10.0.1.12 addr=10.0.2.12
Set link options for all links. Link options are matched to the links in order. The first link (link 0) has sctp transport, the second link (link 1) has mcastport 55405:

pcs cluster setup newcluster node1 node2 transport udp link mcastport=55405

config [show] [--output-format text|cmd|json] [--corosync_conf <path>]
Show cluster configuration. There are 3 formats of output available: 'cmd', 'json' and 'text', default is 'text'. Format 'text' is a human friendly output. Format 'cmd' prints pcs commands which can be used to recreate the same configuration. Format 'json' is a machine oriented output of the configuration. If --corosync_conf is specified, configuration file specified by <path> is used instead of the current cluster configuration.
config update [transport <transport options>] [compression <compression options>] [crypto <crypto options>] [totem <totem options>] [--corosync_conf <path>]
Update cluster configuration. Unspecified options will be kept unchanged. If you wish to remove an option, set it to empty value, i.e. 'option_name='.

If --corosync_conf is specified, update cluster configuration in a file specified by <path>.

All options are documented in corosync.conf(5) man page. There are different transport options for transport types. Compression and crypto options are only available for knet transport. Totem options can be set regardless of the transport type.
Transport options for knet transport are: ip_version, knet_pmtud_interval, link_mode
Transport options for udp and updu transports are: ip_version, netmtu
Compression options are: level, model, threshold
Crypto options are: cipher, hash, model
Totem options are: block_unlisted_ips, consensus, downcheck, fail_recv_const, heartbeat_failures_allowed, hold, join, max_messages, max_network_delay, merge, miss_count_const, send_join, seqno_unchanged_const, token, token_coefficient, token_retransmit, token_retransmits_before_loss_const, window_size

config uuid generate [--corosync_conf <path>] [--force]
Generate a new cluster UUID and distribute it to all cluster nodes. Cluster UUID is not used by the cluster stack in any way, it is provided to easily distinguish between multiple clusters in a multi-cluster environment since the cluster name does not have to be unique.

If --corosync_conf is specified, update cluster configuration in file specified by <path>.

If --force is specified, existing UUID will be overwritten.

Generate a new corosync authkey and distribute it to all cluster nodes. If <path> is specified, do not generate a key and use key from the file.
start [--all | <node>... ] [--wait[=<n>]] [--request-timeout=<seconds>]
Start a cluster on specified node(s). If no nodes are specified then start a cluster on the local node. If --all is specified then start a cluster on all nodes. If the cluster has many nodes then the start request may time out. In that case you should consider setting --request-timeout to a suitable value. If --wait is specified, pcs waits up to 'n' seconds for the cluster to get ready to provide services after the cluster has successfully started.
stop [--all | <node>... ] [--request-timeout=<seconds>]
Stop a cluster on specified node(s). If no nodes are specified then stop a cluster on the local node. If --all is specified then stop a cluster on all nodes. If the cluster is running resources which take long time to stop then the stop request may time out before the cluster actually stops. In that case you should consider setting --request-timeout to a suitable value.
Force corosync and pacemaker daemons to stop on the local node (performs kill -9). Note that init system (e.g. systemd) can detect that cluster is not running and start it again. If you want to stop cluster on a node, run pcs cluster stop on that node.
enable [--all | <node>... ]
Configure cluster to run on node boot on specified node(s). If node is not specified then cluster is enabled on the local node. If --all is specified then cluster is enabled on all nodes.
disable [--all | <node>... ]
Configure cluster to not run on node boot on specified node(s). If node is not specified then cluster is disabled on the local node. If --all is specified then cluster is disabled on all nodes.
auth [-u <username>] [-p <password>]

View current cluster status (an alias of 'pcs status cluster').
Sync cluster configuration (files which are supported by all subcommands of this command) to all cluster nodes.
sync corosync
Sync corosync configuration to all nodes found from current corosync.conf file.
Get the raw xml from the CIB (Cluster Information Base). If a filename is provided, we save the CIB to that file, otherwise the CIB is printed. Specify scope to get a specific section of the CIB. Valid values of the scope are: acls, alerts, configuration, constraints, crm_config, fencing-topology, nodes, op_defaults, resources, rsc_defaults, tags. --config is the same as scope=configuration. Do not specify a scope if you want to edit the saved CIB using pcs (pcs -f <command>).
Push the raw xml from <filename> to the CIB (Cluster Information Base). You can obtain the CIB by running the 'pcs cluster cib' command, which is recommended first step when you want to perform desired modifications (pcs -f <command>) for the one-off push.
If diff-against is specified, pcs diffs contents of filename against contents of filename_original and pushes the result to the CIB.
Specify scope to push a specific section of the CIB. Valid values of the scope are: acls, alerts, configuration, constraints, crm_config, fencing-topology, nodes, op_defaults, resources, rsc_defaults, tags. --config is the same as scope=configuration. Use of --config is recommended. Do not specify a scope if you need to push the whole CIB or be warned in the case of outdated CIB.
If --wait is specified wait up to 'n' seconds for changes to be applied.
WARNING: the selected scope of the CIB will be overwritten by the current content of the specified file.

Example:
pcs cluster cib > original.xml
cp original.xml new.xml
pcs -f new.xml constraint location apache prefers node2
pcs cluster cib-push new.xml diff-against=original.xml

Upgrade the CIB to conform to the latest version of the document schema.

Valid values of the scope are: acls, alerts, configuration, constraints, crm_config, fencing-topology, nodes, op_defaults, resources, rsc_defaults, tags. --config is the same as scope=configuration. Use of --config is recommended. Do not specify a scope if you need to edit the whole CIB or be warned in the case of outdated CIB.
node add <node name> [addr=<node address>]... [watchdog=<watchdog path>] [device=<SBD device path>]... [--start [--wait[=<n>]]] [--enable] [--no-watchdog-validation]
Add the node to the cluster and synchronize all relevant configuration files to the new node. This command can only be run on an existing cluster node.

The new node is specified by its name and optionally its addresses. If no addresses are specified for the node, pcs will configure corosync to communicate with the node using an address provided in 'pcs host auth' command. Otherwise, pcs will configure corosync to communicate with the node using the specified addresses.

Use 'watchdog' to specify a path to a watchdog on the new node, when SBD is enabled in the cluster. If SBD is configured with shared storage, use 'device' to specify path to shared device(s) on the new node.

If --start is specified also start cluster on the new node, if --wait is specified wait up to 'n' seconds for the new node to start. If --enable is specified configure cluster to start on the new node on boot. If --no-watchdog-validation is specified, validation of watchdog will be skipped.

WARNING: By default, it is tested whether the specified watchdog is supported. This may cause a restart of the system when a watchdog with no-way-out-feature enabled is present. Use --no-watchdog-validation to skip watchdog validation.

list [filter] [--nodesc]
Show list of all available stonith agents (if filter is provided then only stonith agents matching the filter will be shown). If --nodesc is used then descriptions of stonith agents are not printed.
Show options for specified stonith agent. If --full is specified, all options including advanced and deprecated ones are shown.
create <stonith id> <stonith device type> [stonith device options] [op <operation action> <operation options> [<operation action> <operation options>]...] [meta <meta options>] [--disabled] [--agent-validation] [--wait[=n]]
Create stonith device with specified type and options.
If--disabled is specified the stonith device is not used.
If --agent-validation is specified, stonith agent validate-all action will be used to validate stonith device options and will prevent creating a misconfigured stonith device. If --agent-validation is not specified, the validation will be done anyway, but it will only produce warnings not preventing the stonith device from being created.
If --wait is specified, pcs will wait up to 'n' seconds for the stonith device to start and then return 0 if the stonith device is started, or 1 if the stonith device has not yet started. If 'n' is not specified it defaults to 60 minutes.

Example: Create a device for nodes node1 and node2
pcs stonith create MyFence fence_virt pcmk_host_list=node1,node2
Example: Use port p1 for node n1 and ports p2 and p3 for node n2
pcs stonith create MyFence fence_virt 'pcmk_host_map=n1:p1;n2:p2,p3'

Add, remove or change options of specified stonith device. Unspecified options will be kept unchanged. If you wish to remove an option, set it to empty value, i.e. 'option_name='.

If an operation (op) is specified it will update the first found operation with the same action on the specified stonith device. If no operation with that action exists then a new operation will be created. (WARNING: all existing options on the updated operation will be reset if not specified.) If you want to create multiple monitor operations you should use the 'op add' & 'op remove' commands.

If --agent-validation is specified, stonith agent validate-all action will be used to validate stonith device options and will prevent creating a misconfigured stonith device. If --agent-validation is not specified, the validation will be done anyway, but it will only produce warnings not preventing the stonith device from being updated.

If --wait is specified, pcs will wait up to 'n' seconds for the changes to take effect and then return 0 if the changes have been processed or 1 otherwise. If 'n' is not specified it defaults to 60 minutes.

Update scsi fencing devices without affecting other resources. You must specify either list of set devices or at least one device for add or delete/remove devices. Stonith resource must be running on one cluster node. Each device will be unfenced on each cluster node running cluster. Supported fence agents: fence_scsi, fence_mpath.

If 'n' is not specified it defaults to 60 minutes.
Lists all of the fencing levels currently configured. There are 3 formats of output available: 'cmd', 'json' and 'text', default is 'text'. Format 'text' is a human friendly output. Format 'cmd' prints pcs commands which can be used to recreate the same configuration. Format 'json' is a machine oriented output of the configuration.
Add the fencing level for the specified target with the list of stonith devices to attempt for that target at that level. Fence levels are attempted in numerical order (starting with 1). If a level succeeds (meaning all devices are successfully fenced in that level) then no other levels are tried, and the target is considered fenced. Target may be a node name <node_name> or %<node_name> or node%<node_name>, a node name regular expression regexp%<node_pattern> or a node attribute value attrib%<name>=<value>. Id for the fencing level will be generated if not specified by the id option.
Removes the fence level for the level, target and/or devices specified. If no target or devices are specified then the fence level is removed. Target may be a node name <node_name> or %<node_name> or node%<node_name>, a node name regular expression regexp%<node_pattern> or a node attribute value attrib%<name>=<value>.

Target may be a node name <node_name> or %<node_name> or node%<node_name>, a node name regular expression regexp%<node_pattern> or a node attribute value attrib%<name>=<value>. Example: pcs stonith level clear stonith dev_a dev_b
Verifies all fence devices and nodes specified in fence levels exist.
Fence the node specified (if --off is specified, use the 'off' API call to stonith which will turn the node off instead of rebooting it).
Confirm to the cluster that the specified node is powered off. This allows the cluster to recover from a situation where no stonith device is able to fence the node. This command should ONLY be used after manually ensuring that the node is powered off and has no access to shared resources.

WARNING: If this node is not actually powered off or it does have access to shared resources, data corruption/cluster failure can occur. To prevent accidental running of this command, --yes or interactive user response is required in order to proceed.

NOTE: It is not checked if the specified node exists in the cluster in order to be able to work with nodes not visible from the local cluster partition.

Show fencing history for the specified node or all nodes if no node specified.
Cleanup fence history of the specified node or all nodes if no node specified.
Update fence history from all nodes.
Enable SBD in cluster. Default path for watchdog device is /dev/watchdog. Allowed SBD options: SBD_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT (default: 5), SBD_DELAY_START (default: no), SBD_STARTMODE (default: always) and SBD_TIMEOUT_ACTION. SBD options are documented in sbd(8) man page. It is possible to specify up to 3 devices per node. If --no-watchdog-validation is specified, validation of watchdogs will be skipped.

WARNING: Cluster has to be restarted in order to apply these changes.

WARNING: By default, it is tested whether the specified watchdog is supported. This may cause a restart of the system when a watchdog with no-way-out-feature enabled is present. Use --no-watchdog-validation to skip watchdog validation.

Example of enabling SBD in cluster with watchdogs on node1 will be /dev/watchdog2, on node2 /dev/watchdog1, /dev/watchdog0 on all other nodes, device /dev/sdb on node1, device /dev/sda on all other nodes and watchdog timeout will bet set to 10 seconds:

pcs stonith sbd enable watchdog=/dev/watchdog2@node1 watchdog=/dev/watchdog1@node2 watchdog=/dev/watchdog0 device=/dev/sdb@node1 device=/dev/sda SBD_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT=10

Disable SBD in cluster.

WARNING: Cluster has to be restarted in order to apply these changes.

Initialize SBD structures on device(s) with specified timeouts.

WARNING: All content on the specified device(s) will be overwritten. To prevent accidental running of this command, --yes or interactive user response is required in order to proceed.

Manually set a message of the specified type on the device for the node. Possible message types (they are documented in sbd(8) man page): test, reset, off, crashdump, exit, clear
Show status of SBD services in cluster and local device(s) configured. If --full is specified, also dump of SBD headers on device(s) will be shown.
Show SBD configuration in cluster.

Show all available watchdog devices on the local node.

WARNING: Listing available watchdogs may cause a restart of the system when a watchdog with no-way-out-feature enabled is present.

This operation is expected to force-reboot the local system without following any shutdown procedures using a watchdog. If no watchdog is specified, available watchdog will be used if only one watchdog device is available on the local system. To prevent accidental running of this command, --yes or interactive user response is required in order to proceed.

Create a role with the id and (optional) description specified. Each role can also have an unlimited number of permissions (read/write/deny) applied to either an xpath query or the id of a specific element in the cib.
Permissions are applied to the selected XML element's entire XML subtree (all elements enclosed within it). Write permission grants the ability to create, modify, or remove the element and its subtree, and also the ability to create any "scaffolding" elements (enclosing elements that do not have attributes other than an ID). Permissions for more specific matches (more deeply nested elements) take precedence over more general ones. If multiple permissions are configured for the same match (for example, in different roles applied to the same user), any deny permission takes precedence, then write, then lastly read.
An xpath may include an attribute expression to select only elements that match the expression, but the permission still applies to the entire element (and its subtree), not to the attribute alone. For example, using the xpath "//*[@name]" to give write permission would allow changes to the entirety of all elements that have a "name" attribute and everything enclosed by those elements. There is no way currently to give permissions for just one attribute of an element. That is to say, you can not define an ACL that allows someone to read just the dc-uuid attribute of the cib tag - that would select the cib element and give read access to the entire CIB.

Configure specified model of quorum device provider to start on boot.
disable <device model>
Configure specified model of quorum device provider to not start on boot.

[config]
Show quorum configuration.
Show quorum runtime status.
Add a quorum device to the cluster. Quorum device should be configured first with "pcs qdevice setup". It is not possible to use more than one quorum device in a cluster simultaneously.
Currently the only supported model is 'net'. It requires model options 'algorithm' and 'host' to be specified. Options are documented in corosync-qdevice(8) man page; generic options are 'sync_timeout' and 'timeout', for model net options check the quorum.device.net section, for heuristics options see the quorum.device.heuristics section. Pcs automatically creates and distributes TLS certificates and sets the 'tls' model option to the default value 'on'.
Example: pcs quorum device add model net algorithm=lms host=qnetd.internal.example.com
Remove all heuristics settings of the configured quorum device.
Remove all heuristics settings of the configured quorum device.
Remove a quorum device from the cluster.
Remove a quorum device from the cluster.
Show quorum device runtime status. Using --full will give more detailed output.
Add, remove or change quorum device options. Unspecified options will be kept unchanged. If you wish to remove an option, set it to empty value, i.e. 'option_name='. Requires the cluster to be stopped. Model and options are all documented in corosync-qdevice(8) man page; for heuristics options check the quorum.device.heuristics subkey section, for model options check the quorum.device.<device model> subkey sections.

WARNING: If you want to change "host" option of qdevice model net, use "pcs quorum device remove" and "pcs quorum device add" commands to set up configuration properly unless old and new host is the same machine.

Set expected votes in the live cluster to specified value. This only affects the live cluster, not changes any configuration files.
Cancel waiting for all nodes when establishing quorum. Useful in situations where you know the cluster is inquorate, but you are confident that the cluster should proceed with resource management regardless. This command should ONLY be used when nodes which the cluster is waiting for have been confirmed to be powered off and to have no access to shared resources.

WARNING: If the nodes are not actually powered off or they do have access to shared resources, data corruption/cluster failure can occur. To prevent accidental running of this command, --yes or interactive user response is required in order to proceed.

Add, remove or change quorum options. At least one option must be specified. Unspecified options will be kept unchanged. If you wish to remove an option, set it to empty value, i.e. 'option_name='. Options are documented in corosync's votequorum(5) man page. Requires the cluster to be stopped.

setup sites <address> <address> [<address>...] [arbitrators <address> ...] [--force]
Write new booth configuration with specified sites and arbitrators. Total number of peers (sites and arbitrators) must be odd. When the configuration file already exists, command fails unless --force is specified.
Remove booth configuration files.
Add new ticket to the local site configuration. Ticket options are specified in booth manpage.
Remove the specified ticket from the local site configuration. The ticket remains loaded in the current CIB and should be cleaned up using the "pcs ticket cleanup" command.
Remove the specified ticket from the local site configuration. The ticket remains loaded in the current CIB and should be cleaned up using the "pcs ticket cleanup" command.
Remove tickets from CIB at the local site. If no ticket name is provided, remove all the tickets present in the CIB but not in the booth configuration. If the ticket name is specified, then remove the specified ticket from CIB.
Tell the cluster on the local site that this ticket is standby. The dependent resources will be stopped or demoted gracefully without triggering loss-policies.
Tell the cluster on the local site that this ticket is no longer standby.
config [<node>]
Show booth configuration from the specified node or from the current node if node not specified.
create ip <address>
Make the cluster run booth service on the specified ip address as a cluster resource. Typically this is used to run booth site.
Remove booth resources created by the "pcs booth create" command.
Remove booth resources created by the "pcs booth create" command.
Restart booth resources created by the "pcs booth create" command.
Grant the ticket to the site specified by the address, hence to the booth formation this site is a member of. When this specification is omitted, site address that has been specified with 'pcs booth create' command is used. Specifying site address is therefore mandatory when running this command at a host in an arbitrator role.
Note that the ticket must not be already granted in given booth formation; for an ad-hoc (and, in the worst case, abrupt, for a lack of a direct atomicity) change of this preference baring direct interventions at the sites, the ticket needs to be revoked first, only then it can be granted at another site again.
Revoke the ticket in the booth formation as identified with one of its member sites specified by the address. When this specification is omitted, site address that has been specified with a prior 'pcs booth create' command is used. Specifying site address is therefore mandatory when running this command at a host in an arbitrator role.
Print current status of booth on the local node.
Pull booth configuration from the specified node. Pull booth configuration from the specified node. After pulling the configuration, the booth should be restarted. In case any tickets were removed, the "pcs ticket cleanup" command should be used to remove any leftover tickets still loaded in the CIB at the current site.

Wait for the cluster to settle into stable state. Timeout can be specified as bare number which describes number of seconds or number with unit (s or sec for seconds, m or min for minutes, h or hr for hours). If 'timeout' is not specified or set to zero, it defaults to 60 minutes.
Example: pcs status wait 30min
Query the existence of the resource.

Print 'True' and exit with 0 if the query evaluates to true. Exit with 1 if an error occurs while performing the query. Print 'False' and exit with 2 otherwise.
If --quiet is specified, do not print any output and just exit with the appropriate return code.

Query if the resource is a stonith resource.

Print 'True' and exit with 0 if the query evaluates to true. Exit with 1 if an error occurs while performing the query. Print 'False' and exit with 2 otherwise.
If --quiet is specified, do not print any output and just exit with the appropriate return code.

Query if the resource is of given type. Allows to query whether clones are globally unique or promotable. Allows to query whether bundles are globally unique.

Print 'True' and exit with 0 if the query evaluates to true. Exit with 1 if an error occurs while performing the query. Print 'False' and exit with 2 otherwise.
If --quiet is specified, do not print any output and just exit with the appropriate return code.

Get type of a resource in pacemaker cluster. The output is one of 'primitive', 'group', 'clone', 'clone unique', 'clone promotable', 'clone unique promotable', 'bundle' or 'bundle unique'.
Query if the resource is in the given state. <state> can be one of 'active', 'blocked', 'demoting', 'disabled', 'enabled', 'failed', 'failure_ignored', 'locked_to', 'maintenance', 'managed', 'migrating', 'monitoring', 'orphaned', 'pending', 'promoted', 'promoting', 'started', 'starting', 'stopped', 'stopping', 'unmanaged' or 'unpromoted'.

States 'starting', 'stopping', 'promoting', 'demoting', 'migrating' and 'monitoring' describe that resource operation (start, stop, promote, demote, migrate_from/to, or monitor) is currently in progress on the resource. 'pending' will evaluate to true if any of these operations is currently in progress on the resource.

State 'locked_to' allows to specify node name of the node that the resource is locked to.

With groups, the state is read and evaluated on the group first. If the state cannot be determined from only the group, evaluate the state of the member resources and return true if the query is true for ALL of the members. 'members' can be used to specify how to evaluate the states of the members. If 'members' is specified, then always evaluate the query only on the member resources without looking at the group itself. This means that for example queries for 'started' and 'stopped' on a group with one started and one stopped member will both evaluate as false at the same time if 'members' is not specified or it is set to 'all'.

With clones and bundles, the state is read and evaluated on the clone or bundle first. If the state cannot be determined from only the clone or bundle, evaluate the state on the instances and return true if the query is true for ANY of the instances. 'instances' can be used to specify how to evaluate the state of the instances. If 'instances' is specified, then always evaluate the query only on the instances without looking at the clone or bundle themselves. This means that for example queries for 'started' and 'stopped' on a clone with one started and one stopped instance will both evaluate as true at the same time if 'instances' is not specified or it is set to 'any'.

'on-node' can be used to test whether the resource is in given state on the node with the given name. If 'on-node' is used, then always check only the member resources for groups and instances for clones or bundles.

Queries on the state of cloned or bundled resources are evaluated similarly to queries on clones or bundles. Evaluate the state of every instance and return true if the query is true for ANY of the instances. 'instances' can be used to specify how the query should be evaluated. It is possible to query single specific instance of unique clones or bundles by using resource id together with the suffix that distinguishes instances for unique clones and bundles.
Example: Query if any instance of resource is started
pcs status query resource resource_id is-state started
Example: Query if one specific instance is started
pcs status query resource resource_id:0 is-state started

Print 'True' and exit with 0 if the query evaluates to true. Exit with 1 if an error occurs while performing the query. Print 'False' and exit with 2 otherwise.
If --quiet is specified, do not print any output and just exit with the appropriate return code.

Query if the resource is in any group or in a group with the specified id.

Print 'True' and exit with 0 if the query evaluates to true. Exit with 1 if an error occurs while performing the query. Print 'False' and exit with 2 otherwise.
Print the id of the group on new line if the resource is in any group.
If --quiet is specified, do not print any output and just exit with the appropriate return code.

Query if the resource is in any clone or in a clone with the specified id. Resource that is in a cloned group is considered to be in the clone itself.

Print 'True' and exit with 0 if the query evaluates to true. Exit with 1 if an error occurs while performing the query. Print 'False' and exit with 2 otherwise.
Print the id of the clone on new line if the resource is in any clone.
If --quiet is specified, do not print any output and just exit with the appropriate return code.

Query if the resource is in any bundle or in a bundle with the specified id.

Print 'True' and exit with 0 if the query evaluates to true. Exit with 1 if an error occurs while performing the query. Print 'False' and exit with 2 otherwise.
Print the id of the bundle on new line if the resource is in any bundle.
If --quiet is specified, do not print any output and just exit with the appropriate return code.

Get all nodes on which the resource is running. With groups, return nodes on which any of the members is running. For clones or bundles, return nodes on which any of the instances or replicas are running.

Print each node name on new line.

Get ids of member resources of the resource. Only useful for group, clone and bundle resources.

Print each member id on new line.

Get an index of the resource in a group. The first resource in a group has an index of 0. Usable only for resources that are in a group.

Various pcs commands accept the --force option. Its purpose is to override some of checks that pcs is doing or some of errors that may occur when a pcs command is run. When such error occurs, pcs will print the error with a note it may be overridden. The exact behavior of the option is different for each pcs command. Using the --force option can lead into situations that would normally be prevented by logic of pcs commands and therefore its use is strongly discouraged unless you know what you are doing.


Path to a plain-text editor. This is used when pcs is requested to present a text for the user to edit.

These environment variables (listed according to their priorities) control how pcs handles proxy servers when connecting to cluster nodes. See curl(1) man page for details.

This section summarizes the most important changes in commands done in pcs-0.12.x compared to pcs-0.11.x. For detailed description of current commands see above.


nagios and upstart resource classes
rkt containers in bundle resources
multiple rules in a single location constraint

Legacy role names


Using stonith resources in 'pcs resource' commands and resources in 'pcs stonith' commands is no longer allowed.

When creating or updating a resource or stonith, its options are now validated by the resource or stonith agent. Unless --agent-validation is specified, this does not prevent misconfiguring the resource or stonith by exiting with an error. In pcs-0.11, the validation was done only when --agent-validation was specified.

Several date-spec and duration options have been removed in pacemaker 3. Therefore, pcs no longer supports them either. Previously supported date-spec and duration options were: hours, monthdays, weekdays, yearsdays, months, weeks, years, weekyears, moon. New date-spec options are: seconds, minutes, hours, monthdays, weekdays, yeardays, months, weeks, years, weekyears. New duration options are: seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years.
Using spaces in dates in location constraint rules is no longer allowed.
Rules are supposed to be specified as a single string argument. Specifying rules as multiple arguments has been deprecated and might be removed in a future release.

--yes instead of --force as an alternative to interactive confirmation

Some pcs commands require interactive confirmation to proceed. Previously, this could be overridden by specifying --force. Since pcs-0.12, using --force for this purpose is deprecated in favor of --yes. The --force flag is kept to override validation errors, which was its originally intended use. Affected commands are: 'pcs cluster destroy', 'pcs quorum unblock', 'pcs stonith confirm', 'pcs stonith sbd device setup' and 'pcs stonith sbd watchdog test'.

The possibility of not specifying 'user' or 'group' keyword is now deprecated and might be removed in a future release.
This deprecated command has been removed. Use 'pcs acl config' instead

This deprecated command has been removed. Use 'pcs alert config' instead.

This deprecated command has been removed. Use 'pcs pcsd certkey' instead.
node add-remote | add-guest
--wait option is deprecated. Instead, use the 'pcs status wait' command to wait for the cluster to settle into stable state. Use the 'pcs status query resource' commands to verify that the resource is in the expected state after the wait.
node remove-remote | delete-remote
These commands no longer remove location constraints referencing the node name of the removed remote node.
This deprecated command has been removed. Use 'pcs status pcsd' or 'pcs pcsd status' instead.

Specifying score as a standalone value is deprecated in favor of score=value. This makes the command consistent with other commands for creating constraints.
This deprecated command, as well as its variants 'pcs constraint [location | colocation | order | ticket] list', has been removed. Use 'pcs constraint [location | colocation | order | ticket] config' instead.

This option is deprecated in all resource commands except 'pcs resource restart' and 'pcs resource move'. Instead, use the 'pcs status wait' command to wait for the cluster to settle into stable state. Use the 'pcs status query resource' commands to verify that the resource is in the expected state after the wait.
This deprecated command has been removed. Use 'pcs resource defaults update <name>=<value>...' if you only manage one set of defaults, or 'pcs resource defaults set' if you manage several sets of defaults.
Since pcs-0.11, this command automatically deletes location constraints used for moving a resource. Therefore, its deprecated flag --autodelete has been removed.
This deprecated command has been removed. Use 'pcs resource op defaults update <name>=<value>...' if you only manage one set of defaults, or 'pcs resource op defaults set' if you manage several sets of defaults.
remove | delete
Removing resources representing remote and guest nodes is no longer possible. Use 'pcs cluster node remove-remote' to remove remote nodes and 'pcs cluster node remove-guest' to remove guest nodes.

create --group
Creating stonith resources in groups is no longer allowed.
This deprecated command has been removed. Use 'pcs stonith defaults update <name>=<value>...' if you only manage one set of defaults, or 'pcs stonith defaults set' if you manage several sets of defaults.
Deprecated options --brief, --no-strict, --safe and --simulate have been removed.
Delimiting stonith devices with a comma is no longer allowed.
Ambiguous syntax of 'pcs stonith level clear | delete | remove' is no longer supported.
This deprecated command has been removed. Use 'pcs stonith op defaults update <name>=<value>...' if you only manage one set of defaults, or 'pcs stonith op defaults set' if you manage several sets of defaults.

This deprecated command has been removed. Use 'pcs tag config' instead.
